Road or Rider

All these bins are on the same bit of road....

Is that the same corner where that ZXR meets a cop and lowsides?

edit: I think that was on sportsbikes.net I'll post a link when my "broad band" decideds to load

Yeah I saw that and in what seems like a pretty low speed crash. Makes you wonder about the road surface because none of them seemed to be going that hard.

interesting as the last two crashes,
ive managed to have, ive found other pieces of bike/car in the same corner

I've only seen the last two but [imo] they looked like they were both trying to get their knee down on an off camber corner and neither is hanging off ie huge lean angle for the bike aka less traction.

Common denominator - they are all sportsbikes.Of course it's the corner - how could the rider be to blame?

Seen this knob?
Are these guys using the road as there own track?
Listen to the comments when they get to the rider.

some kinda light sand covering the corner?

**SMOKEU** · 4th April 2010, 22:09

Were the last 2 crashes due to the riders applying too much throttle?

Its possible...this looks like Target fixation.

I blame the car for being in the way... fancy driving on a public road and getting in the way of a biker trying to be another Rossi!!! Just damn rude!

Just imagine sliding off the bike only to get one leg each side of one of those wooden posts under the guardrail.... ouch! Would be singing soprano for a while!

Sure does! Target fixation is a shocker.... damn hard habit to get out of. It is so easy to focus on what you don't want to hit. Having interviewed many drivers, they often confessed to having looked at the object they hit and invariably and literally drive/ride straight into it.
